Gegenstand der Arbeit ist die Rolle der Prosodie, v.a. der Intonation im Zusammenspiel mit Lautstarke und Lange, bei der Organisation der alltaglichen Konversation. Sie basiert auf der empirischen Analyse eines Korpus naturlicher Alltagsgesprache.

Nach der Darstellung der Zielsetzung und Methodologie der interaktionalen Phonologie der Konversation befassen sich die zentralen Kapitel der Arbeit mit der Rolle der Prosodie bei der Konstruktion von Auerungseinheiten und Gesprachsbeitragen, dem Verhaltnis von Prosodie und Grammatik bei der Signalisierung konversationeller Fragen und der...

This volume presents the first full-scale biography of Daniel Jones, a preeminent scholar and leading British phonetician of the early twentieth century, and the first linguist to hold a chair at a British university. This book, richly illustrated with partly unpublished material traces Jones's life and career, including his contacts with other linguists, and with figures outside the linguistic world notably Robert Bridges and George Bernard Shaw.

This book presents a novel treatment of the metre of Beowulf, an Old English epic poem of uncertain date and origin which is nonetheless considered one of the gems of Germanic Alliterative Verse. Building on recent advances in generative linguistics, the analysis presented in this book offers compelling explanations for a wide range of metrical phenomena that have been observed but only poorly understood for over a century.

Among the essays in the first volume are overview articles dealing with VP ellipsis (by Kyle...

The comprehensive analysis of the segmental and metrical system of the Swiss German dialect of Thurgovian provides a significant contribution to both phonetic and phonological theory. Based on the author's original fieldwork and experimental investigations, it is the first in-depth study of this area, tracing it back also to its Old High German roots, particularly that of the dialect of Notker. Quantity alternations - notably word-initial long/short consonantal alternations - asymmetric neutralization of phonetic-phonological contrasts, stress and weight are most prominent among the...

The theme of this book is Change in Phonology, understood as encompassing both change at the level of the speech community and development within the individual speaker/hearer. As in other Laboratory Phonology volumes, thematically grouped sets of chapters are followed by a commentary by an author who approaches the topic from a different angle. The papers included in this volume are authored by linguists, psycholinguists, computer scientists and engineers and demonstrate that the Laboratory Phonology approach has reached maturity and has succeeded in its aim not only to bridge the gap...
